Must-See Classic Car Exhibitions

If, like us, you fancy fuelling your love of classic cars, you could do a lot worse than getting yourself along to these two great classic car exhibitions. We’re talking about the Footman James Manchester Car Show, and the Autosport Racing Car and Performance Car Show. These two events continuously prove to be great days out for the classic car enthusiast, and are a must-see addition to your calendar. Here’s why…

The Footman James Manchester Classic Car Show

Back in September 2014, we were lucky enough to hit the road and head up to this beauty of a classic car show, sponsored by Footman James. It was located in Event City, which is right next to the Trafford Centre and just off the M60 at junction 9 – making it a cinch to get to. Enough about logistics though, as this event had so many gorgeous cars packed under one roof that we must get onto the main event.

As far as classic car exhibitions go, this one is the cream of the crop. The space was superb, and in a smaller hall included a starlight effect on the walls and ceilings. This proved to be the perfect backdrop for those gorgeous and super-flashy Mercedes Benz and Jensens. In the main hall, meanwhile, it was hard to choose which car was our favourite. There were so many to choose from that it was easy to feel a little overwhelmed. We did, however, adore the teeny weeny Fiat 500, and the Ford Sierra RS 500 Cosworth which came kitted out in a spangly cobalt blue colour scheme.

The main hall was incredibly spacious which meant the event felt very well organised, light and airy, and it was possible to see the displays from many different angles. As far as indoor class car exhibitions go, this one was superbly done.


The Autosport Racing Car and Performance Car Show

At the beginning of the year, we couldn’t help ourselves be tempted by the Autosport Racing Car and Performance Car Show at the NEC in Birmingham. Now, this being a motorsport show, it was something a little out of the ordinary. If you’re at all interested in things such as Formula 1, autocross, and rallying then this is the show that will lure you in (as it did us).

The NEC was packed full of amazing performance cars, and motorsport parts companies. And they did well by it too – it is said that a whopping £1.7bn worth of business was done at the show, or as a result of it. (Did someone say there was a recession on?! – You wouldn’t know it here).

2014 was a year of great classic car exhibitions, but 2015 looks set to be just as good. Make sure you put these events in your diary… the Autosport show will be held from the 8th – 11th January 2015 at the NEC, and the Footman James classic car show london will be on the 20th and 21st September 2015. Enjoy!
